Balogun scores two early goals but Monaco loses 3-2 to PSG in Champions League
- On Tuesday, Folarin Balogun put AS Monaco 2-0 up at Stade Louis II in the Champions League knockout tie, giving Monaco a commanding first-half lead over Paris Saint-Germain.
- With tensions rising at PSG, they faced pressure after a sixth defeat on Friday that led to Dembélé questioning teammates' attitude, prompting Luis Enrique's response on Monday.
- On Tuesday, Balogun scored at 55 seconds with Golovin's cross and in the 18th from Akliouche's pass, making him the first U.S. player with a Champions League knockout brace.
- The return leg is next Wednesday at Parc des Princes, with the winner advancing to the last 16, and Balogun's showing strengthens his case as the USMNT's striker for this summer's World Cup.
- Despite European form, his Ligue 1 record stands at 4 goals in 18 appearances, and the brace took Balogun to five Champions League goals this season.
